knights of Labor in ~. Louis Determined
TO stand by Powderly.
ST. LOUIS, November 25.-The local Of
ticials Of the Knights of Labor TO nOt re-
gard the recent repo Is from Chicago in re-
gard to secession in the Order there "a he
being ~ exactly straight.
Reports that certain trades unions had
been formed are said to be correct, but
that they had withdrawn from the
Knights of Labor, and were rebellious
against the authority Of Mr.. Powderly, is
said TO be without foundation.
Trades unions and assemblies have been
formed in this city, Chicago and nearly all
other important cities, but they are gov
erned by the Knights of Labor AZ a su-
prems body, and the rules of the order
admit and require such assemblies to be
formed John B. Dempsey, Secretary of
District Assembly No. II, OF this city,
who is perhaps as we'll posted on the affairs
on the affairs of the Order a. any official
in st. Louis, stated yesterday that Assem-
bly, No. 1907, of Chicago the assembly to
which Parsons belonged, had withdrawn
from the Order because the General AS
sembly refused to indOrse Anarchism.
John Morrison, q former Knight of Labor
official, of Chicago, had not been member
of the Order for three years, and these re
cent reports still connected him with the
Order, and "a a mover of sedition.
Another disturbing element in the order
in Chicago was Joseph Buchanan, the pub
Usher of q newspaper, who wasanxious, Mr.
Dempsey said, TO acquire personal notoriety
in the order, but the order, for its own
reasons, had not deemed him a suitable
subject for rapid advancement. COnse-
quently, he had recently been officiating as
disturber in the ranks, and had given rise
to some of these reports. MIR. Dempsey
further stated that the Knights Of Labor
were never in better condition than at
present, and that the assemblies of this city
were working together in perfect harmony,
and he did not anticipate any movement
against Grand Master Workman Powderly.

TRADE REVIEW.
Prospects Improving-A Steady Inerea.,
In Business.

Prospects Improying-A Steady Increase
In Business.
New YORK, November 25.-R. G. Dun
& Co. in their weekly review say: In all
directions business prospects are improv-
ing, although the situation now here JUS
titles such speculative wildness as hiss
appeared in some branches. Money still
goes to the West, and even more to the
South, and bankers anticipate some pres
sure as the new year approaches, but
the treasury has increased it deposits
with the banks Sl,572,1s2 during
the past week, and so has
withdrawn from market only S9Oo. GOO
cash. Exchanges running nearly eight per
cent. above those of corresponding weeks
last year, and railroad earnings showing an
increase exceeding ten per cent, with ship
ments from Chicago by rail 5000 tons
larger than for the same week last year, a
volume Of traffic never surpassed at this
season, though reaction from the greater
dClihiII Va OCptcLlDcE CtuSto III some
branches complaint OF dullness.
The most important fact is, the invest
ment Of foreign capital in this country still
continues. The latest evidence a sale of
$S, ,0O0, 900 Northern Pacific bonds to a
foreign syndicate, came at time when
foreign sales of stocks appeared to fore
shadow contrary movement In seven
months not less than $l45, ,O0O, 900 must
have thus arrived from abroad, which has
gone far to support the development OF
railroads, mines and manufacturers and
the speculation in real estate.
From most parts come complaints that
colwer, only fair. and though rapid mar
keting of products has brought relief at
most Southern and Southwestern points, at
many others money is close and rates
high; the country demand still con-
tinues. The earnings are met in many
cases by unwonted increase of expenses.
Stocks closed Wednesday about
so cents per share higher than last week,
but showed hesitation at the close and de-
clined this forenoon q fraction. Breadstufls
have advanced, wheat J cent, oats / of a
cent and corn rose sharply to-day. Pork
has advanced 20 cents q barrel and lard 10
cents Per 100 pounds. Hogs are lower.
The iron market is still weak ut Pitts
burg but shade tirmer for No. . at Phila.
delphia because OF the scarcity of the best
grades. A decline in British exports to
this country from 12S, ,OS5 tons in Septem-
her encourages the trade.
The business failures during the last
seven days number for the United States
1877, for Canada 20, total s07, as compared
with 224 last week and 2l6 for the CORE
spending week OF 1886.
